The celebrity chef will be opening the bar and restaurant at Next in Kingswood, and will allow customers to enjoy light bites, main meals and a whole host of Prosecco and wines. It is due to open before the end of the year.

Gino is expected to come to Hull to open the restaurant with a celebrity-packed party.

Matthew Cunningham, brand director for Gino D’Acampo My Restaurant, said: “There will be a terrace at the front of the restaurant that has a retractable roof so guests can enjoy al fresco dining all through the year, and there are plans to install pool and foosball tables.

"A wine wall will also separate the two parts of the restaurant, alongside an open plan kitchen.

“We want this to be a place people can fit into their lifestyle. Customers can shop at Next and pop in for a coffee and lunch, or a glass of Prosecco, and then also come for a meal out and enjoy the full restaurant experience.”

This is the first venture between Gino’s My Restaurant and Next, and will include a menu of more than 40 different types of Proseccos and sparkling wines, as well as a range of classic Italian cocktails, beers and coffee.
